For thousands of years before Columbus set sail across the Atlantic, daring explorers and skilled seafarers had already been testing the limits of the known world. Long before European caravels, ancient navigators used stars, winds, and currents to guide their journeys across vast stretches of ocean. Some left behind clear records of their voyages, while others are pieced together through archaeology, oral traditions, and historical accounts. These men and civilizations pushed beyond coastlines, linking continents and cultures in ways often forgotten by mainstream history. Their stories reveal that the oceans were highways, not barriers—and that human curiosity and courage have always reached for distant horizons.
